BRYAN, Of Nebraska. For Vico Prosidont ADLAI E. STEVENSON, Of Illinois. A Great Business Gathering. On ibo 4tll day of December next there will assemble in tho city of New Orleans-tho greatest in num ber, if not in wealth, enterprise and the spirit of progress, among the whole Southern sisterhood-the fourth annual convention of th?' Sou thern Industrial Association. It will j bc by far theVmost important gather ?hg of thc yoa\ in thal section, be cause ol' its broad Scope and its gene ral appeal to every intel est that lias at heart the up-building of the South. It is only in years comparatively re cent that the South has learned tho value of organization, but now ber planters, miners, manufacturers, far mers, merchants and professional men arc a unit whenever an oppor tunity is presented of working to gether for tho general welfare. Al ready the good results of this asso ciation's deliberations are mani lest, ami il is now estimated that the general interest aroused by its fre quent gatherings will liring not less than 4,000 visitors to the Orescent City next December, Tho association's president is ll. II. Hargrove, of Shreveport, I.a., au om i llellt authority on colton and all its allied industries; Sidney Story, editor of the Southern Trade .Jour nal of New Orleans, is its vice presi dent; and ils secretary is X. I?\ Thompson, of Huntsville, Ala., the land and investment member ol' a company thal bas done much for the development of Southern industries. In a letter lo a Boston business man, who is an enthusiast on the siibjct t of the South's great industrial fu ture, Secretary Thompson says : The people ol' New Orleans have taken bohl of this matter with a great deal of vim and interest. Com missioners from all the exchanges in that city, as well as business bodies, have already been appointed and are at work. Tho Governor of the State has issued official invitations to thc Governors ?d' all the Southern States to he present on the opening day, while the .Mayor of New Orleans has likewise issued invitations to the mayor of each leading eily ir. the South. There will Le present olli cial representativos hom every rail road system of thc South, commer cial and business bodies, industrial linns, manufacturers, superintend ents of education, commissioners of agriculture and all others interested in the aims and objects of thc con vention, or any of thc subjects to Lc discussed before il. Tho ll rsl day will lie devoted to tiie organization of tho convention and the discussion of the Nicaragua Canal. Ii is de signed to have all I be Governors and leading officials ol' tile South at that m coli ng, so that a united voico cnn be sent up to Washington for I lie passage ol' the Nicaragua Canal bill, which comes up in the Sonate on December 10. Itv assembling to gether for consultation ind encour agement through the medium of this convention, il is hoped there will be created a general policy of industrial development throughout the South thal will assure capital and selliers of a more hearty welcome and pro tection. Among the other subjects lo como under discussion are''The South and lier Development," "lixpori Trade of the South," "Colton .Milling," "Immigration into the South*" "Textile Kducalion," "Coal, hon and Sleol of tho South," "Merchant Marine," "Oriental Trade," "Tho Groat Phosphate Industry," "Tho Sall Industry ol' Louisiana," and 'Tanning Industry." lt will thus Le seen that hundreds and thousands of business men ?ill over tho United States are directly or indirectly interested in the delib erations and the action of ibis great industrial body. Never wore tho South's industrial ?ind liliancial inter ests so closely linked with those of the entire country as now-n com munity of interest that must coil' lin no to increase until the business world shall recognize no geographi cal or other distinction between the ficelions once, in tho imagination mendy, divided by Mason ?ind Dixon's line.

Dr. Brimm's Views on Miraculous Hoallng. Tho following is a statement of tho viowH that havo hoon tho occasion of my asking for dismissal from tho Presbytery. 1. 1 behove that miracles bolong to this whole dispensation, and not morely to tho first oontury of it ; that they were given to sustain tho truth of Christianity, and not merely to guarantee tho deity of Christ "and tho inspiration of ibo canonical writers ; that they aro ncodod for their apologetic valuo as much now as they were in tho apostolic ago ; ttiat miracles of healing arc a special characteristic of this dispensation, and are the special privilogo of Cod's children ; that God moans and wishes to make a difference botweou His children and tliOHC that aro not, sal vation being much moro a real and present possession than wo ordinarily make it. 2, I believe that disoaao, defects and deformities aro, as a whole, tho consequence of sin in tho world ; that in particular onBCB they may bo and often arc thc result of particular sins, but arc not necessarily so; that Satan sometimes visit? them upon us, by God's permission, for trial ; that tlicy sometimos como as tho result ol'thc ignorant or non-ethical viola tion of thc laws of nature and health ; that they arc somctimcH visited di rectly by (Jod, for punishment, or chastisement, or for trial-and in any case God's knowlcdgo and act, effi ciont or permissive, arc involved. ."?. I believe that these human ills, being part of thc penalty that wo suffer for sin, aro involved in thc atonement made by Christ, so that in a literal sense Ho bore our infirmi ties, and with His stripes wo aro healed ; but, just as in tho case of justification, wc get tho benefit in accordance with bur faith ; and HO, when wc come to God confessing our sin and believing His promise, that] WO may expect to lie healed ; that, just as in tho case of tho healing of soul-sickness God repudiates the as sistance pf human works ; so in the bealing of tho body I Lo will not divide His honor with human medicines \nd devices. I, I believe that when Satan onuses our sickness God is ever ready to frustrate Satan if wo put ourselves in tho right attitude towards Him ; that when wo arc sick by reason pi ignor ant violation of thc laws of health (Jod will pity us if wo come to Him in faith, and will heal us; that thc Lord .Jesus Christ is ns powerful and compassionate now as He was when Ho lived Oh earth, and will reach forth tho helping hand if wc cry to Him in faith ; and that thc fact that God over-rules sickness for thc culti vation of various Christian graces docs not imply that He has efficiently ordained it l'or this purpose, any more than that He so ordains a crime which Ho may so over-rule. 5. 1 believe, that, if God permits 01" effects a case of sickness for chas . list-meat, WO have no right to try to frustrate His chastisement by thc usc of medicine, but should repent, and, trusting His mercy, draw near to Him in faith and submission ; that, if it bo for trial, thc way to meet thc trial is not by resorting lo tho most skilful physician and approved medi cines, but to God Himself, who is righteously jealous pf His honor, and will not divide it with mon. li. I believe that advancement in science and discovery, in thc knowl edge of materia medica, and in the raputicnl and surgical skill is at once part of Cod's benevolent providence towards thc evil and unthankful and faithless, and also part of ti godless, humanly solf-suilicicnt, material civilization ; that whereas Christ did not usc means for healing, wc arc not required to use them, and that inasmuch as Ile could do no miracle whore there was no faith, neither can WO, and now, as then, thc faith makes tho standard according to which anything is done 7. I believe that there is Scripture warrant for these positions (at least for tho fundamental positions, while tho Others arc logically deducible) and thal they do not affect our gel ling sick, our eating and drinking proper nourishment and using proper precautions to sustain life and pro sers o health, and our dying in the Lord's good time and own way, be cause there iis no Scripture warrant for tho negative of these ; and, fur ther, I deny that they subject God to every human caprice 8. I believe in thc reliability of human testimony in tim case, of pres ent-day miracles as nundi tts in tho Apostolic age-making allowance, of course, for lin; factor of inspira tion in tho latter case, and I depre cate thc rejection of this testimony -as serving to sustain Hume's posi tion ?ind to destroy thc position of thc Church tts to tho witness of thc Gospels; and I bolicvc that tho coun ter position, so widely prevalent in tho Church, is lending its aid to tho triumph ot' rationalism and anti super nat ural ist ic scept icism. 0. I believe that teaching is thc test ol tho miracle, rather than thc miracle of the leaching; that Satan is to work miracles, and is now work ing them, and on thc Church's posi tion ns to tin- function bf miracles will deceive all but tho very elect, and will cause them much trouble; and that we have a fight to employ miracles to counteract these Satanic miracles of "Christinn Science," of "Mental Science" ami of Anli-Sc. ; . turn! Spirit uralism. IO. I believe that anointing by thc elders, with prayer, is unequal*! lied and explicit, and that the prom ise is equally so; that this is sus tained by other Scriptures ; that God has vindicated thc interpreta tion beyond room for cavil ; that God is more honored thus than by the employment ol' human skill and knowledge, even iii con junction with appeal to Him ; nod that the objec tions sprung against miraculous heal* mg are altogether unreasonable and due tO thc "evil heart, ol' unbelief" thal remains in the people of God; and that we baye already run deeply into Christian pharisaism--making void the Cospel through our tradi tions -as evidenced by the bitter antagonism to this doctrine.

Wilie Jones, StaUrChairman, ia very anxious to have a full voto in this State in tho approaching general election. Ile thinks it will do a great deal of good, and urges every voter to go out and cast his ballot. The following appeal has just been issued by the State Chairman and succinctly gives the reasons for wanting a large vote : To the Democratic Voters of South Carolina : In view of the present apathywhieb seems to exist among ! the Democrats of this Stato as to voting ?it the general election, I feel it to lie my duty as your Chairman to address you in this public manner, and urge that you all come out on November (iib and east your votes for the Democratic ticket, from Pre sident to Coroner. Our people have gotten into the way of thinking that when they have casi their votes in the primary there is 110 further use lo vote. lint lliis is a very danger ous policy to pursue and may result in great harm to our State. Our State and County ticket are sn to, as the Republicans have put up no op position at all. The Republicans have an electoral ticket in the held, composed mostly of negroes, and they have a candi dato in every Congressional District in this State, hoping to have their candidates seated by a Republican House. Let every Democratic voter come out and vote for thc Democratic nominei.s in bis District, and elect them by such an overwhelming ma jority that not even a Republican House would dare unseal them or even consider a contest. '.l'lie Democrats of this nation have given you one of the grandest, purest and most brilliant men this country has ever produced, and tho Demo crats of this Stale have given you seven of your best men as candidates for Congress, and I cannot believe that you will not come out and vote for them. We have heard of late various threats on all sides that our repr?sent?t ion in Congress would lu; reduced by a Republican Congress on account of our small vole in the general election. Mow, fellow-Democrats, do not allow this serious cb argo to lie made against you. Wu.it: .IONICS, Stale Chairman Executive Com. Twenty Years Proof.

It was published early last week thal the government department of agriculture would not give out any other crop estimates until December.
